L Brands CEO Leslie Wexner was a major Republican Party donor in the swing state of Ohio. In September, Wexner decided to leave the GOP, saying he wouldn't "support this nonsense in the Republican Party” anymore, The Hill reported. Now, he's dropping quite a bit of money on Democrats. ..............Wexner said he was a member of the Republican Party since he joined the Young Republicans while at Ohio State University, USA Today reported. That changed back in September after former President Barack Obama made a short stop in Columbus. Wexner "was struck by the genuineness of the man; his candor, humility and empathy for others." ........To Read More.....

My Take - I believe Wexner is listed as the richest man in Ohio. That leaves an impression of a higher degree of insight and intelligence than the general population. However, he's met Obama and was "was struck by the genuineness of the man; his candor, humility and empathy for others." 

Really?

Well, what struck me was it would appear great riches and great insight and intelligence don't necessarily go hand in hand.
